Refer to the procedure description.

This section of the Status bar shows description of a command, currently selected on the main menu, context menu, or a toolbar.

Click this icon to invoke the Background Tasks manager.
Visibility of this icon in the Status bar depends on a launched background task.

The first two numbers denote the current caret position in the editor(line and column).

Depending on the
highlighting level selected by the slider, Hector keeps an eye on the code
(Inspection level), turns half face (Syntax),
or averts his face from the code (None).

Power Save Mode. Select this check box to minimize power consumption
of your computer on account of eliminating the background operations.
To indicate that the mode is on, Hector fades .

When Power Save Mode is on, PyCharm reduces its functionality
to the one of a text editor, by not executing expensive background activities that drain laptop battery.
These activities include error highlighting and on-the-fly inspections, autopopup code completion .

In the files with Django or any other template language support, it is possible
to separately configure highlighting for the entire file (for example, HTML), and for a template language
(for example, when the user want to see all the warnings in a template, but doesn't want to see them in JS).

You can also toggle Power Save Mode through the File | Power Save Mode command on the main menu.

Import popup. Use this check box to enable or disable
auto-import for the current file. You can turn auto-import off for the whole product in the Auto Import page of the Settings dialog.

This blinking icon indicates that internal IDE errors have occurred.
Click to view the error descriptions and submit reports.

Shows the current heap level and memory usage. Visibility of this section in the Status bar is defined by the

dialog. It is not shown by default.
